title: The association of two or more surgical methods in the tibia.
abstract: The authors propose the association of two or more surgical methods in the treatment of aseptic pseudarthrosis of the tibia with the object of increasing the probability of union and reducing the period of disability. Based on the anatomo-pathological features of the pseudarthrosis, methods aimed at obtaining mechanical stability (fibula pro tibia, Küntscher) and methods which stimulate biological repair (decortication, transplants) are associated. The results obtained confirm the theoretical presuppositions, revealing a relatively short amount of time required for healing.
